As an Asian American, I dont feel safe under Trump. By repeatedly calling the coronavirus the Chinese Virus, hes scapegoating people like me and my family as well as millions of others like us. We have long suffered racism in this country in silence. Now itll be truly hell.

(22,395 posts)Stephen Miller is Trump's puppetmaster
Stephen Miller knows how effectively blaming unpopular minorities for pandemics works
He knows history. He knows that thousands of Jews were burned to death, blamed for the Black Death in 14th century Europe
Stephen Miller would be absolutely deliriously thrilled if Asian and Latin American immigrants met the same fate.
We need to make sure this is known and countered. As was said during a prior deadly pandemic, "Silence is Death".

(17,605 posts)When the nation's president and chief diplomat uses that kind of racist and nationalistic language. I just can't understand why in the hell that they would so such a thing. You are probably correct to be concerned, there are a lot of nuts out there that look for excuses to vent their hate. Trump has been happy to provide them with victims since he took office. It is good for "his numbers."

(13,110 posts)He does this to keep his cult riled up.
He is evil.
They are brainwashed and will follow him anywhere.
The republican party was destroyed by Trump.
It is now the party of Trump.
He is surrounded by influential ass kissers.
The Prosperity Gospel has a strong foothold.
The anti-science crowd have a strong foothold.
The courts are stacked with right wing lunatics.
We have a pandemic.
We have the start of a depression.
Climate change has kicked into high gear.
And we have an evil dictator wanna be as president.
This will not end well.
